So, we finally made it out of town. Last night we slept out on the gazebo again, and got a great view of a passing lightning storm. Today’s hike was one climb up to a ridge and back down.
This is an electronic version of a journal entry I wrote on this date in 1998 when I was hiking the Appalachian Trail as King Cheese.
The rocks on the way down really ground the bones to a pulp. This high mileage (19 miles today) really takes a toll on the body.
